Frankenstein vs. The Mummy (2015)

good back-story, and good acting

An Exercise In Nonsense

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

There is a certain ambition in this movie in joining two classic monsters originally played by the legendary Boris Karloff but sadly; things are far from fulfilled. The movie was made with a minimum budget and it seems between friends. Acting is not that bad and some gore effects are OK; but it takes too long to start; with many long explanations about medicine and religion that become boring after a while. When the two monsters collide; it last for about a minute or two and it is not a particularly interesting fight; plus both monster are so hideous that you do not really care who wins or lose. It is pity writers and directors did not considered the original movies or novels and gave more interesting personality to the creatures.In brief; do not lose your time.

In New York, the professor of the medical university Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Max Rhyser) is buying body parts from the janitor Carter to build a corpse and reanimate it. The Egyptologist Naihla Khalil (Ashton Leigh), from the same university, has just returned from an expedition and brought the Mummy of Usekara (Brandon deSpain), an evil and cruel pharaoh that was cursed, leaving his soul trapped in his mummified corpse. Victor and Naihla have a crush on each other and they date. Meanwhile Professor Walton (Boomer Tibbs), who is chief of department where Naihla works, accidentally releases Usekara's soul and is possessed by him. He kills his assistant Isaac (Robert MacNaughton) and his blood awakes the Mummy. Then Walton lures his student Lenora (Stefanie Merola) and the Mummy eats her heart. Frankenstein's monster (Constantin Tripes) is reanimated and Victor is surprised with his capacity. But soon both monsters want Naihla: Frankenstein's creature to force Victor to transfer his brain to a new body and the Mummy believes she is the sorcerer that trapped his soul and wants Naihla to call off the spell. What will happen to Naihla?"Frankenstein vs. The Mummy" is an entertaining horror movie that uses the classic Universal monsters. There are good lines, but the limited budget limits the film to few characters. The exotic beauty of Ashton Leigh is impressive and the plot is well resolved. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): Not available on DVD or Blu-Ray.

Frankenstein vs. The Mummy is far from being as great as it could have been, but it still manages to be one hell of a fun way to kill a Friday night!Victor Frankenstein is attempting to create life, but ends up using the brain of his evil assistant Carter, creating a violent psychopathic monster. Meanwhile, a young Egyptology professor discovers an ancient Mummy that is soon walking around, leaving a bloody trail in it's path.Those expecting a non-stop monster brawl will be disappointed, as the two titular creatures don't face-off till the film's finale. However, the journey there is refreshingly well-made, acted and written! The make-up for the monsters is top-notch and we really do get to feel for our human protagonists. If I have any complaints, it's that I find the film overly long and it drags a fair bit during the first act. Also, Frankenstein's monster was WAY too unsympathetic. Nonetheless, I totally recommend this flick to any monster fans who need a bit more of Frankenstein's patchwork experiments or mummified ghouls in their lives.

I never, ever write reviews, but this was a train wreck of acting, storyline, (what story line ...?) execution, delivery, I can't even find the words to explain what I just watched. There was no sense of a plausible story behind this. Why did one woman become the obsessive desire of two monsters and on the same night no less! And why did she go from complete disgust to undying love towards her one night stand? What dredges did the creators of this "movie" drag it up from? Someone apparently owed someone a big favor. I can't imagine someone actually thought was presentable for viewing to the public. You can't even make a drinking game out of this! It is non-redeemable and utter crap and a waste of my good time that I can never get back, do not waste your time on this.
